Testimonials “Besides being a Risk Consultant for the Bergen and South Bergen County Joint Insurance Funds in the New Jersey Excess Liability organization, I am in my 30th year as a volunteer firefighter where I hold the rank of Assistant Chief and Training Officer. I’ve also been employed for 24 years as a New Jersey State Level II Fire Instructor at the Bergen County Fire Academy and instructed a variety of driver training courses, including a computer based driver simulator. I find the EVOC Web program graphics to be outstanding, the content of the material very comprehensive, and a great training resource.” Kenneth Schulz, Senior Risk Control Consultant, JA Montgomery Risk Control, NJ “EVOC Web training superbly enhances our EVOC program and my administration now sees why I was pushing for this program from the beginning. I know that with the implementation of these emergency driving principles our officers and our citizens will be safer on the roads of St. Paul.” Officer Terry Erdman, St. Paul Police Department, MN “EVOC Web teaches our officers to think about EVO principles and decision making skills perhaps forgotten or not thought of before. We plan to make EVOC Web an ongoing part of our driver training program.” Sheriff Roger Scott, Dekalb County, IL “EVOC Web provides critical and relevant training that has had a positive impact on our officers.” Sgt. Donald Nunnery, Winter Haven PD, FL “The greatest benefit was realized when one of our experienced driver operators commented, ‘I have changed the way that I drive.’” Cpt. J. Christopher Milne, SLC Fire Department, UT

History

The founders of AST began designing leading-edge simulation technologies working at Evans & Sutherland in the very earliest stages of industry’s application of high-fidelity driving simulator technology. They participated in all stages of design, development and installation of the National Advanced Driving Simulator technologies at the University of Iowa, which constituted the world’s most advanced simulator at that time. They also founded the ISIM Corporation which developed the PatrolSim™ line of Police Driving Simulators, which proved to be the most popular line of driver training simulators in history. After selling ISIM to General Electric, the GE-ISim line of PatrolSim™ simulators eventually became L-3’s line of PatrolSim™ simulators, today. In 2003 the founders of AST (now DST) observed that training tools and simulation technologies were not well integrated within the industry collectively. They were being hyped and sold independently by different companies with different objectives. Training companies who talked about simulation where focused on vehicle fidelity rather than effective simulator applications. Simulator companies who talked about training did not demonstrate effective training. The critical component of ingredient was missing on both sides. So, the founders of AST determined to establish AST with a focus on the integration of leading-edge training technologies with leading-edge simulation technologies. In 2009, AST began extracted key elements of simulation training and ported them to an environment to deliver effective training online that was coupled with user verification through facial biometrics in 2014.
